Changelog and the installers for Octane Standalone are here:
OctaneRender Standalone

Important: if using macOS, we strongly recommend that you update to version 13.3. Prior to 13.3, there is an OS related issue that causes a render failure consistently if you render for long periods of time.

Changes since version 24.6:

• Implemented Maya 2026 support.
• Integrated the 2025.2.1 rendering engine.
• The file-names of plugin installers are now in unified format across all Otoy DCC.

Maya 2026 support is in process, going to be implemented in upcoming versions...

Hello, this might be a me problem but I've just installed this version and Maya 2026 can't find any of the AE templates for Octane's camera. I get this:

createNode camera;
// cameraShape1
// Error: line 1343: setParent: Object 'octSampPerFrameOctColumnAe' not found.
// Error: line 1405: Object 'octAnimDataOctAnimatorData' not found.

I haven't done any further testing beyond this yet, so I'm not sure if others are not working. Thanks!

I've just double-checked, and I can't reproduce this. The 24.7 plugin works without problems on my Maya 2026 installation. No errors generated for cameras, and the Octane rollout in camera's AE shows correctly and generates no error messages...
It's maybe something wrong with your Maya or plugin installations, or with Maya user-preferences maybe corrupted, or the scene itself, etc... Maybe reset Maya's user-preferences could help...
